    My apologies guys. I definitely did not mean to come off as a spammer. I set up two separate threads because I wasn't sure which one would fit best. Anyways, I took some advice and formally introduced myself in the intro forum.

    To recap my intro, like I stated in my first post, I have been given the opportunity to join a scrap battery business and from what has been explained to me, scrap batteries are selling about double of what they are here in the US. I'm not sure if true or not, but I stumbled across this forum when seeking information.

    If anyone is aware of this being true or not, your thoughts and opinions are welcome and appreciated.



    Again, thanks for having me on board and I look forward to learning a few things from you guys that I'm sure are definitely more knowledgeable about this business than myself.

    Thanks,

    AFAIK lead acid batteries are reprocessed here or in Mexico. The shipping expense to Mexico is lower than to China.

    Read this recent New York Times article on battery recycling for more information:
